disputa
EN For an instant he seemed to see this unnatural contest between a dead intelligence and a breathing mechanism only as a spectator --such fancies are in dreams; then he regained his identity almost as if by a leap forward into his body, and the straining automaton had a directing will as alert and fierce as that of its hideous antagonist.
GL Por un intre pareceulle presenciar esta disputa antinatura entre unha intelixencia morta e un mecanismo vivo só como espectador --ilusións así preséntanse en soños--; entón recuperou a súa identidade coma se dera un paso adiante cara ao interior do seu corpo, e o esgotado autómata posuía agora unha vontade que o guiaba tan alerta e ferozmente como aquela da súa arrepiante antagonista.

competición
EN Notwithstanding this, the most exquisite specimens of the lighter lyric which the world has yet sedh must be sought for in Horace: and very few writers of any country have approached to Virgil in the art of composition, however low we may be disposed at this day to rank him as a poet, when tried in the unequal contest with the sublimities of the Christian literature.
GL A pesar disto, os máis exquisitos espécimes da máis leve lírica que o mundo viu ata agora débense buscar en Horacio; e moi poucos escritores de tódolos países se acercaron a Virxilio na arte da composición, por moi baixo que esteamos dispostos hoxe a situalo como poeta, cando se xulga na competición desigual co sublime da literatura cristiá.
